Joe Walsh; not all disingenuous folk are on the left

Joe Walsh, someone I've never heard of, is a supposed conservative who is going to run against Trump for the Republican nomination in 2020.

Even though I don't know anything about him I know that he's either ill informed or dishonest.

That's because in an interview on CNN, and all loyal Republicans who are primarying their parties president for the good of conservatism always turn first to CNN to get their message out, he implied that he lost his radio show because his listeners are pro-Trump.

But that's not the case.  Whenever a radio personality declares that they're running for president their stations are basically required to boot them because if they don't every minute of air time is a campaign contribution.

I think reasonable people see this; if George Stephanopoulos decided to run for Senate and ABC let him stay on the air afterwards we would all agree that ABS was unfairly helping his campaign.

Hence either this Walsh guy is so clueless about the political process that he didn't know that declaring he was running for President would force the stations that play his show to terminate it or he knew and he's trying to act as though he's being persecuted.

Not knowing his politics I can only say that by his behavior he'd fit right into the Democratic primaries.
